Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 100 grams Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Place the eggs in a medium-sized saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Once the water reaches a rolling boil, lower the heat to a gentle simmer and cook the eggs for 8-10 minutes to ensure they are hard-boiled.
Step 3
While the eggs are cooking, take the butter out of the refrigerator and allow it to soften at room temperature.
Step 4
Once the eggs are done, drain the hot water and transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water. Let them cool for about 5 minutes to stop the cooking process and make peeling easier.
Step 5
Peel the eggs and discard the shells. Place the peeled eggs in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Step 6
Use a fork to mash the eggs into small, crumbly pieces. Adjust the size of the pieces to your preference—some people like a smoother texture, while others prefer a chunkier spread.
Step 7
Add the softened butter to the bowl with the eggs. Mix well until the butter is fully blended with the mashed eggs, creating a creamy and cohesive mixture.
Step 8
Sprinkle in the salt and stir again to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Step 9
Serve Munavoi immediately on slices of rye bread, crackers, or with traditional Finnish Karelian pasties. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
